books, coffee, running
motivation
None
smooth learning curve shipped code to production
almost no guidance
why?
None
300+ engineers 300+ services 15M customers
None
patterns among services
functional programming tests △ hexagonal architecture ⬡
functional programming
fp is about pure functions
fp is about referential transparency
��
Consistency Predictability Safety
we need to talk about side effects
not infecting your fp code with imperative code
limit the amount of imperative code
immutability vs mutability
pure functions + immutability
✅ easier to reason ✅ easier to debug
persistent data structures (copy-on-write)
Structural Sharing A =
Structural Sharing A = B =
Structural Sharing
Structural Sharing A
Structural Sharing B
focus on what matters
Class Object Instance Inheritance Polymorphism Abstract Factory Builder Factory Method
Object Pool Prototype Singleton Adapter Bridge Composite Decorator Facade Flyweight Private Class Data Proxy Chain of responsibility Command Interpreter Iterator Mediator Memento Null Object Observer State
None
eliminate shared state so order does not matter
don't have to set up anything up
be as functional as you can
tests △
confidence safety
feedback
accuracy
speed
reliability
✅ accuracy ✅ speed ✅ reliability
why highly testable code?
bonus: generative and property based testing
how to design our code?
high maintainability low tech debt
maintainability is a long term concept
first attempt: hexagonal architecture
inner layer: domain model
second layer: application
third layer: IO
separates business logic from IO
tests in isolation with mocks and stubs
dependency injection
first discover
hard things in OOP can be easy in FP (tests)
boundaries
third layer: IO
hexagonal architecture in FP is natural
push impure code to the boundaries
great discovery!
but, are we leveraring FP to its max?
services need to communicate
None
second layer with imperative code and side effects
why not imperative? harder to reason about harder to compose
harder to test slower feedback
why not imperative? harder to reason about harder to compose
harder to test slower feedback
why not imperative? (block! card datomic producer) ; =>
why not imperative? (defn block! [card datomic producer] (when (logic.card/can-block?
card) (let [locked-card (logic.card/block card)] (datomic.card/update! blocked-card datomic) (producer.card/status-changed! blocked-card producer))))
why not imperative? harder to reason about harder to compose
harder to test slower feedback
why not imperative? (defn block-all! [customer cards datomic producer] (doseq
[card cards] (block! card datomic producer)) (cards-blocked-notify! customer producer))
why not imperative? (defn block-all! [customer cards datomic producer] (doseq
[card cards] (block! card datomic producer)) (cards-blocked-notify! customer producer))
why not imperative? (defn block-all! [customer cards datomic producer] (doseq
[card cards] (block! card datomic producer)) (cards-blocked-notify! customer producer))
why not imperative? harder to reason about harder to compose
harder to test slower feedback
why not imperative? mocks & integration tests
None
Unit Integration E2E
why not imperative? harder to reason about harder to compose
harder to test slower feedback
None
❌ pure functions ❌ tests ❌ maintainability
let's try another approach
declaring effects on the return of functions
decouple decisions from effects
decouple intent from execution
(block card) ; => [{:effects/datoms [...] ; :effects/messages [...]}]
data as first class citizens
declarative
atomic operations
Global dependencies
Global dependencies Dependency injection
Dependency rejection Global dependencies Dependency injection
(defn block [card] (if (logic.card/can-block? card) (let [blocked-card (logic.card/block card)]
(-> e/empty-effects (effect.card/update blocked-card) (effect.card/status-changed blocked-card)))) e/empty-effects))
None
second layer without side effects
become more expressive
✅ pure functions ✅ tests ✅ maintainability
